Why do you think it's your job to do so? That's the literal definition of astroturfing.

You absolute little liar.

the deceptive practice of presenting an orchestrated marketing or public relations campaign in the guise of unsolicited comments from members of the public.

I am a real person, with an ethical obligation to stand up against genocide. There is no deception, I am a member of the public, and what I am doing is called activism (or slacktivism for the pessimists in the world).

So, you admit that you are flooding this platform to deliberately present one story as more dominant in the news cycle than others in order to misrepresent its relevancy to current events?

You can argue definitions and semantics all day, but that is what you're doing - and it's dishonest at best.

You are saying posting on aggregate media sites is dishonest?

That is just ridiculous.
